Muqarrab Khan of Golconda, also known as Khan Zaman Fath Jang Dakhini, was an Indian Deccani Muslim military officer, who was the most experienced commander of the Qutb Shahi Dynasty, during the reign of Abul Hasan Qutb Shah. He betrayed Shah during the Siege of Golconda and arrested the Maratha emperor Sambhaji at Sangameshwar, with the help of Maratha traitors.
Khan was a political rival of Shah's viziers Madanna and Akkanna. After Shah's defeat by the Mughals, Khan retreated to Golconda, and following its capture by the Mughals, he became its de facto ruler.
In media Muqarrab Khan was portrayed by Anil George in the 2025 Indian film Chhaava.
